"Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops, like bishops, and your religious act like religious." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1972

Definitely. I will admit that I was long and opponent of SNAP. I always felt like this was some sort of attack against the Church and as a Catholic I defend the church. But it's only when it happens in your backyard that you see this has nothing to do with the church; it has everything to do with men who hide behind their collar and use it as a shield to not only protect them but to enable them to molest and rape This is what put Benedict called "the filth of the church." Anyone who harbors them is even worse than them. A bad man commits bad deeds. An evil man encourages others to do so, either by commission or omission. It's a simple as that

I don't usually run into this problem that often. With a little egg wash, it's a cinch. I have a lot of problems keeping my noodles from drying out. I have tried spreading the sauce over the top before baking, but it hasn't worked out the way I wanted it to.

Message to our Governor: Peace be with you. Today as you consider Bill 326-33 pray for guidance and let your mind and heart be still and at peace.Consider this: After the Japanese war, 1944, every edifice including churches were destroyed with no place for the Church (the People) to have a decent Mass, but out of the ashes “WE” the People who make up the CHURCH, rose up and rebuilt what we have today. So as you consider this Bill, rest assured that even WAR will not destroy the CHURCH of GOD. Yes there may be “unintended” consequences of material wealth as some would endorse, but more importantly, what about the ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE! What of the VICTIMS-SURVIVORS? WHO WILL HELP THEM REBUILD THE CHURCH? Jesus: Destroy this temple and in 3 days I will rebuild it….We the PEOPLE are the CHURCH, not the man-made structures as even some misguided Priests would have us believe.

Why is Hon so scared? Because Hon knows the Church is GUILTY! Guilty of transferring sexually abusive priests, once known, out of one diocese to another, etc. This practice is not just an isolated one, but rather widespread throughout the Church worldwide. In fact, it could be said such has been the policy of the Church for decades past.

DOE Jon Fernandez is the subject of a Sex Abuse Investigation. If Mr. Fernandez is found guilty, is GovGuam liable for his actions?I don't think so, unless it can be proven that GovGuam knew about it, tolerated it and maybe even tried to cover it up as the Church has been doing for years and years. That's why Hon is scared. The money angle is minuscule compared to the damage that exposing of the Church's practice on sexually abusive priests can do.

SNAP will see that the PEOPLE OF GUAM will stand for anything to protect our Kids going forward. We (GUAM) will set example to the whole USA that we mean what we say to protect our KIDS not only within the CHURCH or any Religion. This LAW once pass is not only for Catholic but for every Religion in GUAM. SIGN this BILL into LAW Governor Calvo or you will be listed as protecting the Abusers.

Seems like little gremlins got wet and are trying to discredit this blog through their naughty childish remarks. Stay out of the jungle or you will get nuked! If you have nothing substantial to say, just zip it.

TIME SINCE ARCHBISHOP APURON SAID HE WOULD FIND IT.

Archbishop Apuron, December 15, 2014.

"Rome has approved it – even the way we’re receiving Communion. That they receive the host standing and they can sit down and everybody who receives it and they eat together...Rome has given permission for that. And it’s somewhere I need to find out where exactly, but they told us that permission is given."
